Description

Dear Friends,

Sometimes dreams do come true.

We’re writing today to share with you the wonderful news of our partnership with Native Earth and the Centre for Social Innovation for the Dream Big Conversation. We’ve dared to vision vast and epic and have been rewarded. However, like all earth-bound realities, time has been needed for reflection, and to ensure that everyone who has indicated interest in the divide between rural and urban theatre creation and production can take part.

To make this dream a reality, we have decided to reschedule our conversation to May 28-30 from our previous scheduled dates of Dec. 4-6. We’re currently aligning teleconference and live-streaming to ensure that the maximum amount of Northern ON artists possible can join us in our conversations.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. For those of you who have already registered, we will be in touch to either issue a refund or re-register you for the May 28-30 date.

POSTPONED TO MAY 28-30, 2018 (Original Dates: December 4-6, 2017) | Toronto, ON

The on the closing night of the conference, The Proscenium Club, a theatre troupe hailing from North Bay, will be showcasing their newest touring work The Life and Death of John the Milkmanwritten by Joshua Bainbridge. Set in 1959, the play tells a story about four women who are ready to claim their rights, their identities, and their own independence, at any cost.

Meetings with stakeholders on next steps to take place during the day on December 6th along with an additional performance of The Life and Death of John and the Milkman in the evening.

With the current success of the arts on a federal level within Canada and the shifting climate of the arts within the province of Ontario, new relationships can be explored leading towards new dreams of a better tomorrow within the arts. Have your voice heard and explore these collective futures with us at Dream Big North 2017!
